This hotel is situated on a lovely beach and has an amazingly gorgeous pool area. It is also quiet compared to the chaos of some of the larger hotels. I met so many wonderful guests and "residents" in the week I was there. In general, my stay was great. While billed as a 5 star hotel, it had several glitches which I openly spoke to the managers about and they are working on them. Also note there is a significant construction project going on next door. While not too disruptive, it would be better if it was not happening. Hotel food was delicious but spendy. Most of the people working there were friendly. Shout-outs especially to Jay, "G" and David for their help in making my stay nice. The reason I gave the "area around the property" 4 stars is the beach right next to it (a public park) had a bunch of garbage on it. Also, note there is a road on the entry side, but I found my "golf view studio" on the 5th floor generally lovely, the road noise was not a big problem. The green was a nice change from the sea, it had morning sun and the deck chairs were beautifully sturdy wood with thick pillows.A wonderful place for morning coffee. There is so much more to tell about this place, but suffice it to say, if you can afford it, it is a beautiful choice.
